Barbara Moore
Meet the author! Get your deck signed…
Barbara’s articles on the tarot have appeared in several tarot publications and in Llewellyn Publications New Worlds of Mind and Spirit magazine. She has also sat on the Tarot Journal editorial board. Barbara’s own education in the tarot has been and continues to be broad and enlightening. She has studied under renowned tarot scholars Mary K. Greer and Rachel Pollack, and she has taught the tarot to all manner of would-be tarot readers.
Barbara enjoys the challenge of giving a voice to tarot cards and oracle decks. She has had the good fortune to write books for several decks, including A Guide to Mystic Faerie Tarot, The Gilded Tarot Companion, The Hip Witch Tarot, Enchanted Oracle and The Mystic Dreamer Tarot.
The Steampunk Tarot takes us to the place where the past and future converge, into a world of roaring engines and gleaming metal, top hats and corseted silk gowns . . . where alternate histories play out in a film reel of fantasy, adventure, and magic.
Taroist Barbara Moore, in collaboration with English Artist Aly Fell, have retooled the gears of the Rider-Waite tradition with a steampunk edge with renderings which evoke our complex relationship with science and technology.
The included manual by Barbara Moore provides tips, original spreads, and guidance in reading the tarot cards.
This new deck is getting raves from both sides of the Atlantic. One reviewer calls it “Stonkingly Good.”
As part of the celebration, Bionic Unicorn will be offering wares in a Trunk Show. Bionic Unicorn, the Steampunk jewelry line by Kristin Berwald, features romantic sci-fi elements geared to spark your imagination.
With eco-friendly and upcycled components, Kristin creates whimsical one of a kind pieces of wearable art. Bionic Unicorn jewelry focuses on a harmony between technology and nature, emphasizing the Utopian aspect of a steampunk world.
Kristin was voted one of the Top 100 creatives by City Pages in 2010.
Her jewelry has appeared in fashion shows at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts, Voltage: Fashion Amplified, Schoolgirls and Mobilesuits, SCENEaSOTA, and Dances of Vice.
Kristin was also recently a guest at TeslaCon 2011.

Oh, and did we mention? One of the prizes for Best Dressed is a Bionic Unicorn Gift Certificate!
After pillaging much cooler tech and having grown beyond limits in their own musical strengths, Scott Keever, Keith Spears and Dayna Jean Wolter blend their souls and create Sacred Space with their richly and Otherworldly layers of sonic magic.
They are currently in studio working on the Album That Never Was to be released in 2012.
Until then, enjoy the tidbits of sonic alchemy they put up on ReverbNation and on theirFacebook page ….
taking what they will from the Collective Consciousness, Pirates of Dreamtime take you on a journey of sound like no other…
“You are naked in your dreams…and we are here for the booty”
Rumor has it that a certain creatrix of a certain tarot deck has fallen in love with the amazing Victorian designs of KMK Designs, and may be wearing one of her designs. You might even spot models wearing even more of her designs, as well.
KMKDesigns is founded and run by Sheridyn McClain who has had a passion for creation of costumes and clothes for as long as she can remember.
She has been a professional seamstress for over 30 years and has worked in many areas of the textile arts including costumes, alterations, fabric art and design.
We hope to see you here in your best steampunk attire!
What: Steampunk Tarot Official Release Party
Where: Eye of Horus Metaphysical Store, 3012 Lyndale Ave S., Minneapolis, MN 55408 (click for map)
Eye of Horus is an independent metaphysical bookstore passionate about
creating and maintaining a community of readers, authors, booksellers,
teachers and practitioners of the intuitive and healing arts.
We're Intuitive: Some people say intuition is a natural, if unexplored, sixth sense we are all born with. Others say it is a result of years of experience which help us make decisions in a moment's time.
Indie Intuition means people, not programs decide which titles we feature. Yes, there is a title database of 5 million titles, but we have our favorite authors and favorite subjects and all-time-favorite books. So do you. Some of our best finds have come from customer recommendations.
We're IndieBound: It's a collection of independent storefronts in communities all over. Our store is in Minneapolis. There's even an iPhone App to help you find Indie stores like ours.
Ordering for store pick-up rocks... the more you do it, the more we stock! With
5 million titles available for direct warehouse shipping, the size of our web store is virtually unlimited. Our Minneapolis storefront has a more curated selection. But the more you order in advance, whether it's titles we usually stock, special orders or pre-orders, the more we order for our shelves, so we can grow to serve you better.
Please Note: Books found on the website may not reflect what's on the shelves in our store!
Please call 612-872-1292 to confirm before making a trip. (Even if Availability says it is On Our Shelves that is only updated daily.)

Some folks doubt they will ever get an eReader. Among those with eReaders, the majority say they will always want some books in printed format. At the Eye, we love books, even if hipsters are starting to call them Antique Reading Devices (ARDs).
